Arvidsson currently sitting at 39 points in 56 games in Boston, basically 0.7 ppg. Seems likely he will be at 45+ points by the end of the year, could crack 50 if everything breaks right.
This is the player he is: aggressive, injury-prone, and puts up good numbers as a secondary scorer. It's what he was in Nashville, Los Angeles, and now Boston. The only place he wasn't was in Edmonton, even though in theory, he would have been a perfect complimentary player.
The Oilers have been fortunate to bring in some value contract veterans who have had success around the league the past few seasons (based on Stanley Cup runs), but most have absolutely bombed here. How much of that is the team and usage? How much is them not carving out a role, mismanagement, and putting those players where they can succeed?
Right now the only Oilers forwards with more points than Arvidsson are: McDavid, Draisiatl, Nugent-Hopkins, and Hyman.
